IF THEY VOTE THE REPUBLICAN
TIcKET.-The Philadelphia Times
says. According to John Sherman,
the colored voter has no right not to
vote, and there should be federal
board created to bring him out and
make him vote, or, what is easier, to
count the vote that he might have
cast if he had wanted to but didn't.
John is great, broad, long headed
and warm hearted statesman.
